Description

The past six months of the continuing IMLS Digital Collections and Content (IMLS DCC) project, “Next Generation Digital Federations,” were primarily engaged in research activities for both the Digital Collection Evaluation (DiCE) subgroup and the Collection and Item Metadata Relationships (CIMR) subgroup. Other activities included development of a history portal, contacting non-IMLS funded collections, and preliminary discussions for realignment of the IMLS DCC collection description application profile with the Dublin Core collection description application profile. These and other activities are detailed in the report.
